32 Remember those days in the past when you first learned the truth. You had a hard struggle with many sufferings, but you continued strong. 33 Sometimes you were hurt and attacked before crowds of people, and sometimes you shared with those who were being treated that way. 34 You helped the prisoners. You even had joy when all that you owned was taken from you, because you knew you had something better and more lasting.

35 So do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward. 36 You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what he has promised. 37 For in a very short time,

“The One who is coming will come
    and will not be delayed.
38 Those who are right with me
    will live by faith.
But if they turn back with fear,
    I will not be pleased with them.” Habakkuk 2:3–4

39 But we are not those who turn back and are lost. We are people who have faith and are saved.
